Airbnb MCP Integration

Guide for integrating Airbnb booking capabilities with PraisonAI agents using MCP

Add Airbnb Tool to AI Agent

Quick Start

1. Set API Key

   Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable in your terminal:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

2. Create a file

   Create a new file airbnb_search.py with the following code:

   from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
   
   search_agent = Agent(
       instructions="""You help book apartments on Airbnb.""",
       llm="gpt-4o-mini",
       tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
   )
   
   search_agent.start("I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights. 03/28 - 03/30 for 2 adults")

3. Install Dependencies

   Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it:

   pip install praisonaiagents

4. Run the Agent

   Execute your script:

   python airbnb_search.py

Gradio UI

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import gradio as gr

def search_airbnb(query):
    agent = Agent(
        instructions="You help book apartments on Airbnb.",
        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
        tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
    )
    result = agent.start(query)
    return f"## Airbnb Search Results\n\n{result}"

demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=search_airbnb,
    inputs=gr.Textbox(placeholder="I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights..."),
    outputs=gr.Markdown(),
    title="Airbnb Booking Assistant",
    description="Enter your booking requirements below:"
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()
